I consider the idea for this course to be among the ten best ideas I have ever had.

Until now, there has been no systematic Austrian response to a mainstream economics text. The major Austrian treatises do not touch upon many of the concepts that students will encounter in their classroom texts. We need a resource that sifts out what is correct from what is incorrect or confused in the mainstream text. And now we have it.

Professor Jeffrey Herbener has taken the highly popular Samuelson/Nordhaus Economics textbook and subjected it to a chapter-by-chapter critique. (See the topics below.) It is the tool we Austrians have been waiting for.

Save yourself lots of trouble and agony by hearing the Austrian reply to what is routinely presented to students. Learn how to respond to typical claims by non-Austrians. Deepen your knowledge and understanding of Austrian economics.

Not to mention: ask the professor all the questions you like, in our discussion forums. And for this month’s live Q&A session we’ll bring on Professor Herbener and you can ask your questions live!

Of course, we have ten other courses, too, in both video and audio, for easy listening on the go.
